Renewable Energy

We invest more in the energy infrastructure of the future than any of our peer companies in the electric industry.

Investing in Clean Energy Generation

Our investment in emissions-free and clean generation has reduced our impact on the air we breathe and demonstrates our commitment to environmental protection and stewardship. Our strategy is based on generating and delivering clean energy and building energy infrastructure that's reliable and affordable.

From delivering superior value to our customers, to being good stewards of our environment, to investing in the communities we serve, all while providing outstanding returns to our shareholders, being a clean energy leader is not just the way we do business, it is our business.

Diverse Renewable Portfolio

Diverse Renewable Portfolio

In 2016, 97.5% of the power produced at our facilities was generated from a diverse mix of clean or renewable sources, including wind, solar, combined-cycle natural gas and nuclear.

Renewable Energy Leader

Renewable Energy Leader

As of year-end 2016, NextEra Energy Resources has more than 13,000 MW and 1,900 MW of wind and solar power capacity, respectively.

Leading the Solar Industry

Leading the Solar Industry

FPL is the largest generator of solar power in Florida, operating more than 335 MW of zero-emissions solar energy, and will be adding nearly 600 MW by 2018.

Lowering Emissions

Lowering Emissions

Since 2001, FPL's investment in affordable clean energy infrastructure has saved customers more than $8.6 billion in fossil-fuel costs and prevented 108 million tons of carbon emissions.

NextEra Energy is the leader among the top five wind owners in North America with 13,852 MW of wind energy capacity. The runner-up, with 6,233 MW, owns less than half the wind energy capacity of NextEra Energy. The final three wind owners in the top five follow with 5,645, 4,076 and 3,363 MW of wind power, respectively.

We now have wind projects in 20 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces, representing a total capital investment of more than $23.6 billion and a fleet size that is comparable to the generation capacity of a top-15 utility. These projects are providing home-grown affordable energy, as well as providing economic benefits to local communities.

SOLAR

We produced more solar energy in 2016 than any other company in the world. About 11 percent of the U.S. universal solar capacity is owned and operated by our company.

For nearly 30 years, NextEra Energy has pioneered universal solar.

We invested in one of the world's largest plants (1989);

In Florida, we built the largest U.S. solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant at the time (2009);

Also in Florida, we constructed the world's first innovative solar-gas hybrid power plant (2010); and

Last year, we added 1 million solar panels in Florida at three new sites, tripling our solar capacity (2016).

In Florida, FPL now expects to add a total of nearly 2,100 MW of new solar in the next seven years – including eight new cost-competitive solar power plants by early 2018 with 2.5 million solar panels that could wrap around Florida's coastline more than two times.

NextEra Energy is the leader among the top five universal solar owners in the U.S. with 2,262 MW of solar energy capacity. The runner-up owns 1,627 MW of solar energy capacity, with the final three owners following at 1,381, 1,373 and 810 MW of solar power, respectively.

We produce universal solar energy in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey and New Mexico, as well as in Canada.

We continue to tailor solutions for commercial, utility and public power customers to produce clean, reliable solar energy from rooftops, parking structures and vacant land. We develop, build, finance and operate these systems to help these customers control costs and meet their renewable energy goals.

We have projects in operation in 10 states across the U.S.

In addition, we have 20 solar facilities in development or construction across eight states.

More than $300 million in project capital has been deployed.

The Golden Hills Wind Energy Center in California has 48 1.7-megawatt turbines that are capable of generating enough electricity to power more than 25,500 homes.

The Desert Sunlight Solar Energy Center in California has 8 million panels that produce 275 MW of energy – enough to power 160,000 homes.

The Red Mesa Wind Energy Center in New Mexico has 64 turbines on site, which together generate more than 102 MW.
